Depletion of fish stocks; the market for omega 3 is approximately $ 2 billion per year and growing as manufacturers are including it in milk, butter, eggs, yoghurt , bread, etc. It is not a trivial figure.

RDA’s not established but a good guide is below.

1000 mg of EPA & DHA is not a standard dose and there are not many products on the market with this kind of dosage. I say this again, the majority of fish oil supplements on the market contain less than 200mg DHA & EPA combined.
Some manufacturers promote their products by writing; 500mg or 1000mg capsules on the labels of their products, it’s the EPA & DHA that’s important. Not the size of the capsule.
And another point, you mentioned that ‘you don’t see this stuff ever catching on’. I think you had better keep you eyes open because it’s already happening.
V-Pure is due out in US retailers within the next couple of weeks.
